April 23, 20232 yr Intervals was a damn good opener. I showed the merch girl my Spiritbox tattoo & she gave me a signed drum head.

April 23, 20232 yr At 77, Iggy Pop absolutely destroyed it. Incredible front man, and having a rhythm section with Duff McKagan and Chad Smith didn't hurt. So glad I caught this show.
April 23, 20232 yr Phish at Hollywood Bowl is an amazing scene, legendary venue.I saw Phoenix there a few years back. It was pretty sweet (I was also tripping balls).
April 24, 20232 yr On the completely opposite end of the spectrum, went to catch some live music at Feels So Good on Saturday... I'm planning on checking more shows out... typically 2-3 bands, $8-10 a show and they have free drinks since they're sponsored by 512 Tequila, Deep Eddy, etc. Not a bad place to catch a show with some up and comers... Some examples... This Thursday May 18: May 25
April 24, 20232 yr Ha! My daughter was the drummer for Sludge until she moved on. The "referee" in Die Spitz' video for "Hair of Dog" is in fact Molly, the singer for Sludge. They have talent, I look forward to seeing them soon.
April 24, 20232 yr To follow up, M83 was a fine show (90 minutes) with no sign of illness for Gonzalez. He didn't make much audience talk, but I've never seen them so maybe that's just his nature. Also, Tuesday (4/25) at Parish in Austin is Black Belt Eagle Scout, a band I've mentioned before though Surly might not exactly be the audience. Indigenous female led folk/rock. Lots of catchy riffs at the live show.

That's my daughter's Volvo. Feels like I spend half my free time working on that fucking thing. Well, I mostly watch my mechanic friend Norm work on that fucking thing. Thursdays are typically bad for me, I don't think I'll be able to make that show. Edited April 25, 20232 yr by jimmyjazz

So, I pay attention to FSG's shows and then pop any names I don't know into Spotify. That's the only song they have in Spotify. Anyway, I'm going to see if I can get any of my lameass friends to go to the show. Sounds like it will be worth it. Really can't seem to find anything else about Sludge online save for a couple of random interviews.
April 25, 20232 yr Went 4/4 with Ten Club. Something other than football season to look forward to in September!

April 26, 20232 yr Ween went hard at Southside Ballroom last night. DCBC Jr. approved.Man I had tix for that tour then it was covid postponed a couple times. Finally they booked this date but I had to leave town for work. Dammit. Glad you enjoyed the show though. Maybe I can catch them somewhere else.

I must have missed it. Was it post Stroker Ace? There was a rather big dude, who was really fucked up and kept slamming into everyone from behind us. He gave of "first beer" vibes. If it was he, I'm not surprised and will assume it wasn't my cold, dead stare that put a stop to his repeated space invasion. Edited April 26, 20232 yr by dcbc
April 27, 20232 yr Hadn't been to the Paramount in forever but went last night to see the new pornographers. It's such an intimate theater and not a bad place to see a rock show - despite it not catering to that type of even much. They were good and their opener wild pink was pretty solid as well. KUT does a whole concert series there but from what I could tell I think most of their schedule would put me to sleep.

Sounds like it was a good one. Their (The New Pornographers) new album is great. Listening through it as I type as it piqued some interst last night. I made a post on the new music thread as well with a couple tracks linked if anyone's curious. They're one of if not my dad's favorite band(s) - who's a better person than I am as well as a UT grad unlike myself. He had a spare ticket and I ended up joining him. We had a good time. Very relaxed venue - which is nice when it's a Tuesday and the opener doesn't go on until 9:30 and you have work at 8.

Couldn't disagree more, terrible place to see a rock show. tiny seats/aisles, awful bar setup, not enough bathrooms, uptight old lady ushers roaming the aisles, not conducive at all to standing up during the show. for the most part i actively avoid shows at the paramount and bass.
April 27, 20232 yr That balcony at the Paramount feels like a death trap. As mentioned, tiny seats, but parts of it are so steep it seems like one is going to pitch over the rail, no matter how many rows back.

April 27, 20232 yr GA-20 in Dallas at Sundown beside Granada. They put on a really good show. They had a few local guitarist friends who came up on stage and played a couple songs. Guitarist walked around the venue and up to the bar whilst playing one song. Very engaging and friendly with the audience. Vibe was like a local bar band in front of the regulars rather than a band on a national tour. Highly recommend. Edited April 27, 20232 yr by GenXer
April 27, 20232 yr Lionel Ritchie in Dallas Sept 1 I think. Recommendations on bars/restaurants around the arena would be appreciated.

April 28, 20232 yr PJ premium will be very expensive tickets (around 10% of seats). Verified fan will be the scraps leftover after the 10 Club lottery.
April 28, 20232 yr I get to try and buy tix tomorrow. How much should I expect to pay for seats for the Austin show? $167 a ticket
April 28, 20232 yr a place to bury strangers last night at mohawk. they always put on a hell of a show. strobe lights, smoke, and a shitload of noise. very enthusiastic crowd, clearly excited for psych fest this weekend.

April 28, 20232 yr or have an amazing, hero friend who is already in on the VIP list for all things PJ that can hook you up with a +1 on the floor...

April 28, 20232 yr it's a ticket exchange run by ticketmaster where they don't allow the ticket to be marked up from face value.

We had great seats and it was the type of band that lent itself towards the venue. Both of those things probably helped. It also wasn't totally packed so the bathroom and bar lines weren't that bad at all. All I said was it isn't bad. I'd see the right kind of band there again.
April 29, 20232 yr PJ premium will be very expensive tickets (around 10% of seats). Verified fan will be the scraps leftover after the 10 Club lottery. Tried to buy tickets in the verified fan sale and the only seats under $500 where behind the stage.
April 29, 20232 yr I signed up through verified fan and got Wednesday tickets in FW. The site had a bit of a meltdown at 10, but I got tickets. I've had great luck with PJ tickets since you had to call a random number back in the 90s when they were fighting with Ticketmaster.
April 29, 20232 yr Most tickets went to 10 Club members. Wait a while. You’ll be able to find tickets for face eventually.
April 29, 20232 yr I got lucky - was able to grab 2 in section 111 for the 9/19 show - gonna be a great birthday present.
